Jolly LLB 3, starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, is just a step away from entering the Rs 100 crore club at the domestic box office. Despite facing stiff competition from new releases, the courtroom comedy-drama has shown solid resilience, collecting an estimated Rs 2 crore nett on Gandhi Jayanti, taking its two-week total to Rs 99 crore.
Box Office Performance So Far
The film opened strong with a Rs 12 crore nett debut and saw a peak on its second and third days with Rs 18.25 crore and Rs 19.75 crore, respectively. By the end of its first week, it had already clocked in Rs 70 crore nett.
In its second week, Jolly LLB 3 collected Rs 29 crore, maintaining decent momentum despite losing screens and showtimes to new releases like Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and Kantara: Chapter 1. This brought the film’s 14-day total to Rs 99 crore, with just Rs 1 crore left to cross the prestigious Rs 100 crore milestone, which it is expected to achieve on Day 15.

Akshay Kumar’s 19th Rs 100 Crore Film
Directed by Subhash Kapoor, Jolly LLB 3 will become Akshay Kumar’s 19th film to cross the Rs 100 crore mark at the Indian box office — a record unmatched by any other Bollywood actor to date. It also marks Arshad Warsi’s return to the beloved franchise, which fans have been eagerly awaiting since Jolly LLB 2.
Will It Be a Hit?
Despite nearing the Rs 100 crore mark, industry experts suggest that the film may not achieve “HIT” status at the box office. Based on its current trend, Jolly LLB 3 is expected to end its theatrical run under Rs 110 crore nett, which is respectable but below expectations. For the film to be declared a clean hit, it needed to surpass Rs 150 crore nett, a target now out of reach.
This is especially disappointing given the positive initial response and Akshay Kumar’s star power. While the film is the highest-grossing Akshay Kumar release of 2025 so far, it still falls short of delivering a clean box office success for the actor.
Akshay Kumar’s 2025 Box Office Report
Jolly LLB 3 is the fourth release of 2025 for Akshay Kumar, following:
- Sky Force
- Kesari Chapter 2
- Housefull 5
Unfortunately, none of these films managed to score a “Clean Hit,” highlighting the challenges Bollywood has faced in drawing consistent footfall despite big names and franchise pull.
Final Verdict
As Jolly LLB 3 prepares to cross the Rs 100 crore mark, it stands as a decent box office performer — not a blockbuster, but not a flop either. With new films eating into its screen count and footfall, the courtroom drama may soon slow down at the ticket windows. Nevertheless, its performance shows there’s still demand for well-written, character-driven sequels in Indian cinema.
